Agriculture Minister Duminda Dissanayake yesterday invited Chief Opposition Whip and Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake to play an active role in developing the agricultural sector by becoming an advisor to his ministry.

“You spoke about reviving the agricultural sector, but you too failed in this endeavour during your tenure as the agriculture minister. However why don't you support us by accepting the post of advisor to my ministry," the minister asked the JVP leader.

Mr. Dissanayake response was not audible because his mike was not switched on at that time.

However, President Maithripala Sirisena who was in the chambers was seen to be smiling at whatever was said.

The JVP leader accused the agricultural unit at the President's office getting involved in the agricultural sector bypassing the agriculture ministry. The President walked into the chambers at the time Mr. Dissanayake was making the allegation but there was no response from the president. (Yohan Perera)

What you should do is , handover your minister post to him. Anura Kumara will do a better and good job.

JVP as a bunch performs well as good critics but are not experts in anything. So its wise to give a deaf ear. via DM Android App

Of course JVP will do it much better

Hon. Minister Anura knows only to criticize, but his actions are zero. What did he do when he was given chance by CBK? He ruined the Agriculture.... that is all.

Bubble Banda Friday, 25 November 2016 09:41 AM

Anura don't have any knowledge of Agriculture, he knows only to bluff. He has a big mouth only.

Kadupol Jothywansa Friday, 25 November 2016 09:44 AM

100% correct Sir. JVP is a talking party not a working party. They will never come to power until the worlds end.

They can only wear red shirts and paste posters and go for hat collections.

Vijith Pieterz Friday, 25 November 2016 09:48 AM

Hay man... what did they do, when an opportunity was given by CBK years before. Anura has a big mouth to utter nonsense.

J Palitha Friday, 25 November 2016 09:49 AM

They will do much better on looting banks and set fire for state properties.

Desmond Jeromme Friday, 25 November 2016 10:47 AM

Correct, this so-called Anura wasted in millions digging the land but no results atall.

JVP follows " Katin Bathala hitawana" theory .
